Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling power supply in an electric mining unit, such as, for example, a loader or a drilling unit.
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement for controlling the power supply in an electric mining unit.
  • the invention also relates to a mining unit.
  • the power transmission which is typically hydrodynamic power transmission, includes a torque converter as an integral element between the power engine and the gear system.
  • the torque converter is used for adapting the rotational speed of the power engine to the need of the load.
  • the torque converter makes it possible to approximately double the torque, particularly at low speeds of the mining unit, for example when stockpiling with the mining unit. At high speeds, the converter can be locked, which corresponds to a fixed coupling between the input and the output.
  • the power engine of the electric mining unit is an electric motor which typically rotates at an almost constant speed with respect to the frequency of the electric power network.
  • the electric mining unit such as a loader or a drilling unit, is normally connected by a cable to a supply power network, wherein its operation is continuously dependent on electric power supplied from the network.
  • the mining unit can also be implemented in such a way that in the case of short transfers it is supplied from a power source, such as an accumulator.
  • a power source such as an accumulator.
  • a frequency converter For adjusting the rotational speed of electric motors used in mining units, such as loaders, a frequency converter is needed for adapting the frequency of the supply voltage to the desired rotational speed of the electric motor.
  • the frequency converter can be used for obtaining the torque at the rated load of the motor from zero to the rated speed.
  • the overload allowance of the frequency converter allows an about 1.5-fold torque for a minute at intervals of ten minutes.
  • Commonly available frequency converters which are suitable for mobile use, for example for mining machine use are typically limited to a given maximum voltage. Consequently, in a system with e.g. a higher voltage level, the mining unit would first have a transformer for reducing the voltage of the electric power network, after which the frequency converter could be coupled. In a mining unit with a high output, the voltage-reducing transformer would become quite large.
  • a known solution for supplying power to a mining vehicle is disclosed, for example, in document FI20086134 .
  • the document describes a method and an arrangement for using a mining unit, that is, a mining vehicle.
  • an energy storage in the mining vehicle is used as the power source during transfer drives, and this energy storage is charged during the work cycle with electric power obtained from an external electric power network.
  • the known solutions generally involve the drawback that the torque converter commonly used in them increases the output torque, but thus the losses are also significantly increased and the efficiency is reduced. Furthermore, oil circulating in the converter has to be cooled efficiently because of thermal losses.

  • An embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that at least one electric motor is supplied from a power source which is an accumulator, a capacitor, a supercapacitor, a fuel cell, or a combination of these.
  • An embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that in inverter use, the electric motor intended for transferring the mining unit is controlled by a constant flux, the torque of the electric motor being thus substantially constant, and the motor voltage is thus changed in relation to the supply frequency.

  • An embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that the mining unit can be transferred, if necessary, by means of the power source provided in the mining unit without connecting the power network of the mining unit to the external electric power network.

  • the solution according to the invention makes it possible to drive the mining unit in a controlled and energy saving way.
  • the solution according to the invention makes it possible to transfer the mining unit merely by the energy of the power source, such as a set of accumulators.
  • the total maximum output of the mining unit (the total maximum output needed) is reduced.
  • the reduction in the maximum output is useful, because a significant number of mines conventionally have weak power supply networks.
  • the cross-sectional areas of the supply cable of the mining unit can be reduced, wherein it is possible to make the cable stronger or to increase the length of the cable with a cable drum of the same size.
  • Figure 1 shows the output and input power curves for a torque converter for an electric mining unit, such as a loader; that is, the output and input power of the torque converter represented as a function of the speed ratio.

  • the rotational speed at the output of the converter is about 300 rpm.
  • the driving speed of the device is thus 1/5 of the maximum speed of the gear in use.
  • the output of the electric motor is, however, at the maximum, although in theory, so much power would not be needed from the electric machine.
  • Figure 2 shows the torque curves of a torque converter. The figure shows an increase in the output torque at a low speed ratio. The input torques (in) and the output torques (out) of the torque converter are shown as a function of the speed ratio.

  • the torque converter is indicated with the reference numeral 10 and the gear system with the reference numeral 11, and the equipment (i.e. tyres/shafts) needed for the power transmission of the mining machine with the reference numeral 12.
  • the arrangement 1 provided in the mining unit comprises at least a three-phase electric power network 2, such as an electric busbar system/electric cable system, in the mining unit, and a mains switch 2' for connecting the mining unit to or disconnecting it from an external electric power network 2", and at least one transformer 14, as well as a power source 7 provided in the mining unit, and at least one inverter 8, 8' connected to the power source 7, as well as switches 3, 4, 5, 16, 17, by means of which switches the power supply to the mining unit can be controlled.
  • the switches function in such a way that the switch 3 switches on/off the connection between the power source 7 of the mining unit and the three-phase electric power network/busbar system 2, and the switch 4 switches on/off the connection between the electric motor 9 and the electric power network 2.
  • the switch 5 switches on/off the connection between the inverter 8 coupled to the power source 7, and the electric motor 9.
